Head Flashcards
Which nasal cartilages are present in the horse
Dorsal Lateral–attaches to nasal bone that rounds out top of nasal opening
Alar– 1) cornu=curved part shapes the ventral aspect of nasal cavity
2) lamina-sheet like piece
Medial accessory–covered by alar fold covered by mucosa
describe the relationship of the alar cartilage to the anatomy of the nostril
Alar fold
- -divides the two nostrils into halves (upper dorsal and lower ventral)
- -flap of skin that projects into nasal cavity and attaches to ventral conchae
- -forms the bottom nasal diverticulum
Limits and function of nasal cavity
Limits: extends from nasal opening back to level of eyes
function: filters, warms, and humidifies inspired air (accomplished by respiratory epithelium and turbinate bones)
describe the placement of a nasogastric tube in a horse
point the tube ventrally to avoid the nasal diverticulum
nasal septum
white piece of hyaline cartilage along midline
can get inflamed and get bigger and cause issues/obstruction
boundaries of the nasal cavity
dorsal–nasal bone
lateral– 1) incisive bone 2) maxilla 3) lacrimal bone 4) zygomatic bone
ventral–hard palate–compound bone
Where is the best space to place a stomach tube
ventral/common nasal meatus
blood supply to the nasal cavity and nostrils
to the nostril: nasal arteries
to the nasal cavity: sphenopalantine arteries
innervation to nostrils and nasal cavity
sensory to nostril–infraorbital (twitching nose)
Motor to nostril–branches of facial nerve CN VII
Nerves in the nasal cavity–cranial nerves I (olfactory) and V (sensory to mucosa)
limits of nasal meatuses

it is the blind end nasoincisive duct and it is the rounded bump behind teeth
Sublingual caruncle
triangular flap in rostril area of cavity
it is the flap for mandibular salivary gland
sublingual fold
extends in caudal direction and contains polystomatic sublingual salivary glands.
NO monostomatic sublingual salivary gland
lingual frenulum
fold of mucosa that attaches to tongue
what are the four types of lingual papillae
1-filiform–found on body and apex not on root (purely mechanical)
2-fungiform–lateral and scattered look like round dots
3-vallate–serve as anatomical landmark between root and body (crater/volcano shaped pits)
4-foliate-not really papillae but more like ridges located laterally on root
what papillae contain taste buds
fungiform, vallate, foliate
Intrinsic lingual muscles
form bulk of tongue and insert within the tongue itself
Extrinsic lingual muscles
originate away from structure and attach to tongue Styloglossus--lateral hyoglossus--root genioglossus--medial Associated lingual muscles
what are the associated lingual muscles
geniohyoideus–chin to hyoid bone
hyoepiglotticus–from hyoid to epiglottis
mylohyoideus–spans intermandibular space originating on inside edge of mandible
blood supply to the tongue
lingual and sublingual arteries–branches of the facial artery
Innervation to the tongue
Sensory–lingual nerve
Taste–rostral 2/3 via facial nerve branches CNVII
caudal 1/3 via glossopharyngeal nerve CN IX
motor–hypoglossal nerve CNXII
where is the parotid salivary gland
base of the ear to angle of jaw/mandible
opens on parotid papilla located opposite upper 4th premolar
where is the mandibular salivary gland
crescent shaped gland and deeper than parotid gland opens on sublingual caruncle
polystomatic sublingual salivary gland
opens along sublingual fold and must remove mucosa to see
Buccal salivary gland
dorsal and ventral=diffusely scattered
**dorsal=zygomatic salivary gland in dog
Divisions of the pharynx
Nasopharynx and oropharynx (divided by soft palate)
Laryngopharynx–just caudal to soft palate immediately surrounds larynx
pharyngeal Muscles
cricopharyngeus, thyropharyngeus, hyopharyngeus
Function as constrictors that propel food into esophagus
where are the various tonsillar tissues located
lingual tonsil–in root of the tongue
palatine tonsil–on the floor of pharynx
tonsil of soft palate–oval shaped spot on soft palate
pharyngeal tonsil–in pharyngeal roof
tubal tonsil–surrounds pharyngeal opening of the auditory tube
function of the pharyngeal opening of auditory tube
endoscopic landmark that is a communication of the auditory tube and nasopharynx
functions to equalize pressure
what is the conical papillae in ruminant that is absent in horses
conical papillae–named for shape or can be buccal papillae depending on location
papillae caudally project to help hold food in mouth (purely mechanical)
what is the dental pad in ruminant
area of upper teeth row where they lack incisors and canines
what is the lingual fossa
ditch/groove in middle of tongue separates apex from rest of tongue
**area where foreign bodies can become stuck
torus linguae
tissue caudal to lingual fossa–lump/bump
what ruminant lingual papilla have taste buds and what papillae do they lack
taste buds: vallate and fungiform
lack folliate papillae
what are lenticular papilla
broad and flat papilla on body and root of tongue
what is the pharyngeal septum
mucosal fold that partially divides nasopharynx into 2 halves that comes off the nasal septum.
Absent in horse
what are the sites of the tonsillar tissue within the ruminant
Lingual tonsil–in root of the tongue
tonsil of the soft palate–same as horse
palatine tonsil–different from other species–located in a sinus/invagination of wall of oropharynx
tubal tonsil–surrounds the pharyngeal opening of auditory tube
What hyoid bones make up the hyoid apparatus
Thyro, basi, kerato, epi, stylo, and tympanohyoid bones

Lamina (dorsal) and arch (ventral and lateral)
Extrinsic laryngeal mm.
Hyoepiglotticus, sternothyroideus, thyrohyoideus
Intrinsic laryngeal mm. and distinguishing features
Cricothyroideus - innervated by cranial laryngeal n.
Cricoarytenoideus dorsalis - abducts vocal fold
Parts of vocal apparatus
Glottis (vocal folds and arytenoid) and rima glottidis = cleft of the glottis
Parts of laryngeal ventricle
Lateral
Vestibular fold - rostral, wraps around cuneiform process (epiglottis)
Vocal fold - caudal, wraps around vocal process (arytenoid)
Median
Laryngeal ligaments
Cricothyroid, cricotracheal
Laryngeal innervation
Cranial laryngeal - cricothyroideus, sensory to mucosa of larynx
Recurrent laryngeal - all others
Roaring
Laryngeal hemiplegia - one sided (usually left) paralysis of vocal fold; not abducted bc something changes innervation to cricoarytenoideus dorsalis (recurrent laryngeal)
Causes of roaring (3)
- long recurrent laryngeal (horse bends neck to eat, stretches nerve - muscle atrophies)
- aortic pulsation (nerve wraps around pulsing aorta - causes pressure)
- enlarged tracheobronchial ln. (put pressure on nerve, seen after respiratory infection)
Treatments for roaring (3)
- ventriculectomy - remove lateral ventricle -> scar tissue -> retract fold out of airway
- “tie back” - suture material to recreate action of cricoarytenoideus dorsalis (artificially abduct fold)
- reinnervation (difficult, uncommon) - transplant neuromuscular flap where cricoarytenoideus dorsalis is, usually from omohyoideus
